The alprazolam (Alprax) is considered some risk if overdosed, but this class of drugs - the "benzodiazepines" - is generally considered less risky for overdose toxicity than barbiturates. Valium is particular is not associated with great risk of overdose mortality. We have used very large doses of Valium at times in medical treatment - specifically in severe alcohol withdrawal. Of course there is greater risk if these drugs are mixed with other drugs or alcohol. There is no need to ever take ten of anything. If this was an overdose gesture, this person may be crying for help. Counseling would seem most reasonable.

10 tabs"DANGEROUS "No not at all,it can be harmful to some extent, actually it is not the number of tablets that matters.It is the quantity of the drug which determines the toxicity for eg:150mg of morphine causes only respiratory depression but 450mg may cause cardiac arrest due to morphine poisioning & more over antidotes like Naloxone are effective in such cases some one should think of some other drug for succide

From your spelling and writing I am hoping you haven't already taken that many sleeping pills. If so call someone that cares about you and tell them what you did!!!
